My Little Margie's Boy Friends #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMargie finds herself caught between two boys and must choose between them, leading to a series of comedic misadventures involving a trapeze rescue and romantic complications at a dance. In a second story titled "The Helpful Helper," Freddie accompanies Mr. Bunkerheimer on a junk business job, but his well-intentioned assistance results in disaster when he accidentally splashes the man with water while working at a construction site.
Margie can't wait for her beach date with the handsome Douglas, and she's built him up so much to her girlfriends that they're practically swooning before he even arrives—but when Douglas finally shows up, reality delivers a punchline that deflates all that anticipation. It's a quick, cheeky reminder that sometimes the dream is better than the dreamer.
Margie writes to the charming (and wildly annoying) entertainer Dymwyt Urstley, rigging her way to a guaranteed date with him—then discovers that getting the reluctant town to buy tickets to his show is far easier than managing the chaos once he actually arrives. With her father desperate to understand what everyone sees in this self-proclaimed heartthrob, Margie prepares for her big night, but Dymwyt's presence in person proves to be more than anyone bargained for.
Harvey's nerve gets put to the test when his friends dare him to match the daring feats of a fearless circus acrobat—all to impress Margie. Watch as a series of increasingly wild stunts land our reluctant hero in tighter and tighter spots, complete with trapeze mishaps, mysterious lions, and the kind of comedic chaos that only 1957 humor can deliver.
When Margie's friend brings a visiting Alaskan to town—a fellow fresh from the frontier who's dressed like he stepped straight out of the 1920s—she thinks he's the perfect catch. As Morton takes her and the gang out on the town in his old-fashioned outfit and equally dated manners, the real question becomes whether this cornball newcomer can win over Margie and her skeptical circle before his charms wear thin.
Cindy and Lindy accept an invitation to their aunt's winter lodge for a week-long holiday filled with skiing and ice-skating—but when their friend Chadwick attempts to show off his skills on the slopes, things take a comedic tumble. The gang rallies around him with a thoughtful gift and a promise of next month's adventure.
Freddie lands a job as Mr. Blunkerheimer's helper, hoping to earn enough money to take Margie out—but his well-intentioned efforts at the construction site keep going hilariously wrong, leaving destruction in his wake. As Freddie struggles to prove himself useful despite one mishap after another, he'll need all the luck he can get to salvage both the job and his date.
When Freddie and a young woman clash over which movie to catch at the drive-in—a Western or the latest Roland Gable picture—Freddie decides to take matters into his own hands and create the atmosphere himself. "Masterful Type" is a quick, charming bit of 1950s humor that plays the battle of wills for laughs, culminating in Freddie's unexpectedly resourceful solution.
At a celebrity ball, Margie finds herself charmed by a sophisticated and dashing stranger who sweeps her off her feet with his Continental manners and dramatic flair. But when she discovers a truth about him that doesn't sit right with her, Margie has to decide whether his appeal is really as genuine as it seemed.
